Wuthering Heights
by Emily Brontë
4 Stars ☆☆☆☆
One thing I usually struggle with in Classics, is the lengthy descriptions that are often unnecessary and boring. However, in Wuthering Heights, every page was gripping and interesting. I went into this knowing nothing, all I knew is that the characters were horrible. While this is most definitely true, I actually found myself understanding every character. For instance, although I may not agree with Heathcliff's actions, I guess I understand his point of view, and how he thinks his actions are justified. Heathcliff and Catherine are horrible, they're selfish and incredibly flawed. Now that I think about it, almost every character in this book is flawed in some way or another, but that's another thing that I enjoyed it. Every living human is flawed, and are selfish at times and can be horrible. Heathcliff and Catherine are monstrous, but isn't everyone in some way or another?
This is a novel with complex characters that will definitely create conflicting feelings. And it's about a love that is destructive and selfish and completely unique.
I loved every second of it
